Copy of About Us

Thank you for your curiosity in our collection! It’s a true pleasure to have you here.

We are often asked about our process and history: Catherine Canino Jewelry has been designed & handmade in NYC by a team of artisans/ crafts people since 1999. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Catherine has created jewelry for her own label and other iconic fashion and jewelry brands since 1989.

Our factory is in the heart of the jewelry district on 47th street. This is where we do all the gritty stuff: master model work, casting, soldering, assembly and polishing. Signature hardware and closures are integral to our process.

Next step: beautiful pearls, leather, ribbon, cording and stones are either set, cemented, woven, knotted or stitched. Combining color & texture with our hardware is a distinguishing factor of our brand. Each piece is made entirely by hand, with huge attention to detail.

Our goal is to create everyday, wearable, clean and classic pieces for the modern woman to give or to get…..we hope you enjoy your piece!
